Guest Artist: MÁRCIA LANÇA 26 > 30 NOV 2018 Escola Básica 1º Ciclo de Bensafrim, Lagos
If the body continued beyond its limits, what shape would it have? What color would it have? If the body could blend with its surroundings and the surroundings with the body, how could we be found? Where would we be? Invisible, masked, continued, indistinguishable , mixed, vanished with the tail out of the bag. Like the Arctic fox that changes its fur when seasons change, brown in the summer and white as snow in the winter. Like the artist Charles Freger who, in Wilder Mann, becomes leafage, ground, sky.
During this week we will find ways to camouflage and to confuse ourselves with the landscape.
